It's almost like they're running a college program where you have recruiting pipelines in certain areas. But Adelman hasn't been a HS/college coach in like 30 years. Maybe he's going senile

Well, we do know that at least a couple of guys drove Adelman insane last year and he decided he wasn't putting up with that crap again.
Personally, I say good for him for not just collecting a paycheck but bringing in the guys that he thinks he needs to be successful.
Sure there will be the normal injury factors, but this season is on Adelman to produce and show us what he's got in the old nut cup.
I've been in the camp that a lot depends on Ricky's return, since we all saw how dynamic he was to the team last year. But I am starting to switch and say there are enough improvements overall that Adelman has to be able to get what he needs from Luke and JJ to begin the season.
You got your team. Show us what you got, old man!
